About Dan

Dan is Chief Executive of two organisations he helped to found – the Economic Policy Centre – the think tank hub of the UK economics community and Chief Executive of Future Energy Strategies, an energy events and reporting company which researches the energy industry of tomorrow and Director of UKCrimeStats – the leading independent crime data platform and www.eutariffs.com – the leading independent analysis database of the import tariffs of the EU’s Customs Union.

The purpose of the the Economic Policy Centre (EPC) is to promote high quality research and debate across all areas of economics in a free democratic society. The EPC’s vision is to close the gap between economic policy and knowledge. Ultimately it brings together economic opinion formers – in academia, business, the media and government – in new and innovative ways.

Future Energy Strategies is a new organisation which brings together a unique group of industry analysts to do exactly what the name suggests – provide strategic insight into the future shape of the energy industry in Britain and across the European market. In a world saturated with information, where a multitude of organisations are clamouring for us to buy expensive, often longwinded and sometimes out of date ‘expert insight’, Future Energy Strategies has an ethos which sets it apart from others by seeking to sell distilled information with quality insight which is topical, concise and affordable.

Dan Lewis is Director and owner through the EPC of UKCrimeStats – the UK’s leading independent crime data platform for all published crime data since December 2010, with maps, analysis, comment and reports.

Dan Lewis was Founder and editorialist for AEI, a site sponsored by Guinness Atkinson Asset Management from 2005-2009. AEI was a leading global content provider for news, comment and prices specifically focussed on alternative energy stocks, regularly achieving no. 1 google rankings for companies ahead of their own websites. Today it is in new hands and bears no relation to its previous role.

I don’t bite ! We just had an example where I wish people would get in touch more quickly. Our fault, a bug. We discovered that there was a short while when new Paypal subscribers were not being written to our membership database – so they were not able to access UKCrimeStats as subscribers. Only […]

London Metropolitan Police have included September this time, so a 2 month update for them. Cheshire Constabulary still has no ASB data – 6 months running – and Gwent is missing burglary. Their ASB count is also lower than it should be. Something has happened in the last couple of years. It now seems routine […]

We are currently updating crime – and in the case of the London Metropolitan Police, September as well. Will be live shortly. Article source: http://ukcrimestats.com/blog/2018/12/06/property-prices-now-up-to-october/

An interesting question just put to me by somebody by email, do we have it and which day is more likely to have what kind of crime? But we don’t have it, all crime data is timestamped by month and year only, for Home Office reasons of data anonymity.

Obviously as a crime data site handling payment, you have to be an example. It was however recently pointed out to us that we were not. Basically, images uploaded via wordpress must have an https link otherwise the whole page is deemed to be insecure. This has now been fixed. But you will see that […]
